A northbound Caltrain struck someone on the tracks near the Menlo Park Station on Friday night, Dec. 29, a spokesman for the transit system said.

There were 31 passengers on Train 711 and no injuries were reported aboard, said Dan Lieberman, a Caltrain spokesman.

The collision occurred about 6:20 p.m. Trains were reduced to using a single track through the area as a result, Caltrain said.

Northbound and southbound trains were reported running about 40 minutes late approaching Menlo Park about 8:20 p.m., according to Caltrain Alerts on social media.

This incident is the 15th fatality in 2023, Lieberman told The Almanac.
